Recapping Last Weekend

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows ruled the weekend box office in its debut, despite a rather weak opening. Early estimates had it earning $50 million or more, but ultimately it came in with $35.3 million. The second weekend of X-Men: Apocalypse saw $22.8 million in receipts domestically. The film has now earned $425 million worldwide with over 70 percent of that money coming from overseas markets.

Me Before You exceeded expectations in with $18.7 million in its debut. I saw the film and opening night and must say it is terrific. Emilia Clarke and Sam Clafin give standout performances.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping came in with $4.7 million in its debut.

Now You See Me 2

Now You See Me surprised many with a $29.4 million opening in 2013 on its way to a worldwide theater run of almost $352 million against a budget of $75 million. Now You See Me 2 attempts to bring the magic back. A.V. Club says it succeeds more in the “giddy ludicrousness” department.

Make It A Redbox Night

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Deadpool, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and The Boy are now available to rent at your local Redbox.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is one of the best films I’ve seen lately. If you loved American Sniper, you’ll love this film. You don’t think Hillary Clinton deserves any blame whatsoever for the attack of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens? That’s fine, the movie doesn’t mention her at all. Just go watch the damn thing. Feel like you should own this movie? Buy the combo pack at Target that includes multiple versions of the movie as well as a copy of the book that it’s based on.
